Veteran actor Yothin Maphunphan, known as Uncle Yothin, appeared at the Thai Buddhist Art Heritage Museum in Lam Luk Ka, Pathum Thani, on October 26, 2026. The atmosphere was lively as large numbers of visitors toured the museum. Uncle Yothin sat distributing Phra Somdej Phra Phutthachan To Phromrangsi amulets to visitors while chanting blessings. Fans who had learned of his recent situation came continuously to meet him and take photos.
Uncle Yothin spoke about his current life, saying he feels very happy and comfortable. Since his story became public, industry friends have reached out, and fellow actors and fans have visited continuously to offer encouragement. He expressed pride and joy that former colleagues and fans still remember and care for him. Most visitors ask about his hardships and daily life. He confirmed he will continue living at the museum until his death, as he is content with his current life. Regarding his previous speech difficulties, he continues practicing and has improved significantly from being nearly unable to communicate to now being understood clearly.
Paritapa Supattanakul, known as "Phor Fah," discussed Uncle Yothin's mental state after his daughter and sister revealed family issues. Initially, Uncle Yothin was highly stressed, so she worked to restore his confidence and self-worth. She assigned him to distribute amulets to the public on weekends and to monks for chapel construction.
After many visitors and fans came to support him, Uncle Yothin's morale visibly improved. He speaks more clearly with fewer difficulties, likely due to both public encouragement and medication adjustments under medical advice. She expressed surprise at the number of fans, former actors, and respected figures who visited, attributing the response to Uncle Yothin's humility and demeanor.
Regarding the family conflict, Phor Fah views it as an important life lesson for Uncle Yothin — a personal matter that should be discussed and resolved appropriately, as society judges based on the present while the past remains unknown, potentially causing misunderstandings.
Uncle Yothin's most recent wife contacted him by phone requesting financial help. When he first came under care, she had asked about his family situation. Uncle Yothin left home when his illness began preventing normal work. He previously sold satay and later chili paste with his ex-wife, but his life changed after cerebrovascular disease caused weakness and work limitations. The phone call occurred while taking him to the hospital for a brain scan. A woman called during the wait, later identified as his ex-wife.
